Well no doubt Rochas collection is classic and well executed, flaweless but cold. Great fall colours and very safe. It has the feel of an Italian show instead of Parisian. Reminds me to much of Prada a few years back and a shy Marni. It’s good but Balmain was a class apart in my humble opinion. He took a risk and oh boy it really paid off ! I see no pictures of Balenciaga anywhere…. that can’t be good.

A Rochas collection that certainly stands out but unlike other designers this year a distinct lack of bold colours. Intersting use of print design and quite amazing shapes/cuts. The last model is particularly amazing!

I’m not yet 20, and I’m a Rochas lady… I think some of this season’s Balmain looks tacky… and isn’t it a bit too similar to last season’s? I think someone’s beauty shines through, if they dress beautifully… not necessarily to show they’ve a great pair of legs…would Audrey Hepburn go Balmain or Rochas??

Rochas Rochas Rochas Rochas Rochas. so sleek, sharp tailoring, a smart edge and feminine chic without being too dainty…and the color palette! so rich. I mean….come on. ! it manages a bold understatedness. how does it manage bold understatedness?
